Summary

“Fortuito: que sucede inesperadamente y de casualidad. Parto fortuito: la noticia inesperada de un embarazo que se desconoce y del cual ningún médico pudo dar cuenta antes de que fuera demasiado tarde. […] El imprevisible y terrorífico momento de sentir que una liga ‘se rompe’ dentro de ti.

Denuncia fortuita: lo inesperado de encontrarte, de un día para el otro y sin haber cometido ningún delito, siendo juzgada como homicida, bajo el mismo delito que un hombre que asesina a cuchilladas. Inesperado, casual, fortuito”.


La periodista Luciana Wainer nos presenta en este libro la otra cara de la criminalización del aborto en México. Aquí documenta y reconstruye, a través de testimonios, entrevistas, expedientes y datos, las historias de cinco mujeres: Dafne, Susana, Aurelia, Malena e Imelda, encarceladas tras un aborto espontáneo, un parto fortuito, una emergencia obstétrica, y sentenciadas a condenas severas por homicidio u homicidio en razón de parentesco. Apenas cinco historias entre ciento —quizás miles— que permanecen ocultas debido a vacíos legales y artimañas jurídicas que las vuelven imposibles de rastrear en una sociedad donde la violencia impera. Fortuito es, a su modo, un grito de denuncia contra ese sistema patriarcal que insiste en vigilar y castigar los cuerpos de las mujeres.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

“Fortuitous: that which happens unexpectedly and by chance. Fortuitous birth: the unexpected news of an unknown pregnancy and of which no doctor can account for before it is too late... The unforeseeable and terrifying moment when you feel as if an elastic band ‘snaps’ inside you. Fortuitous allegation: finding yourself unexpectedly and overnight, without ever having committed a crime, being judged as a murderer under the same kind of offense than that of a man who stabs someone to death. Unexpected, casual, fortuitous.”

Journalist Luciana Wainer presents the other side of criminalization of abortion in Mexico. In this book, she documents and reconstructs—through testimonies, interviews, files, and data—the stories of five women: Dafne, Susana, Aurelia, Malena, and Imelda, imprisoned after a miscarriage, a fortuitous birth, an obstetric emergency, and sentenced severely for homicide or homicide by reason of kinship. Barely five stories among hundreds, maybe thousands, that remain in the dark due to legal devises and loopholes that make them impossible to track in a society where violence reigns. Fortuitous is, in itself, a cry denouncing this patriarchal system that insists on monitoring and punishing women’s bodies.
